The Highway Rat
Give me your buns and your biscuits! Give me your chocolate eclairs! For I am the Rat of the highway, and the Rat Thief never shares! Life is not safe for the other animals as the villainous Highway Rat gallops along the highway, stealing their food. Clover from a rabbit; nuts from a squirrel - he even steals his own horse's hay. Then he finally gets his comeuppance, courtesy of a cunning duck... A fabulous, rollicking rhyme in the style of the famous Alfred Noyes poem, 'The Highwayman' now in board book format - perfect for little hands!
